I propose to take Questions Nos. 688 and 689 together.

My Department did not use the services of a make-up artist, hairdresser, stylist or personal shopper during the years in question. Additionally, there was no expenditure on hairstyling, make-up, personal grooming or general cosmetics during those years.

There is no mechanism within my Department for officials to claim expenses in relation to such services or products.
